This group of economists just claimed the government can grow better than Amazon. This isn't some random company or a football stadium that produces very little; this is one of the best performing, highest growth companies ever created. I'd give the kitchen sink away to get a FAANG company in my district if I were in charge.
This is a group of almost entirely liberal economist who've never seen a tax they didn't like. Claiming the government can grow better than Amazon, and I wonder where is the proof of this?
